Also there is the work done by private groups like Pheasants Forever and Ducks Unlimited who purchase land, restore the habitat to a natural state, and donate it to the appropriate state or federal agency. Unfortunately the most visible hunters are not the good ones. These would be the ones who get called hunters by the media but are actually poachers. Then you have the ones that break the rules, are reckless, leave trash everywhere, shoot signs, don't respect private property, and generally cause trouble for everyone else. My uncle works with some "hunters" like that and we went out with them a couple of times and it is nothing but problems as they seem to attract attention and get visited by the conservation officers all the time. We no longer hunt with them and have much greater success now yet his coworkers whine and bitch about us not letting them know where are hot spots are. We will go out of our way to avoid private property as some of the places we hunt the borders aren't very well marked so better to be safe. We also are always pulling trash out of the woods and fields we hunt and leave things nicer than when we found them. You won't find our deer's gut piles laying on the trails (seriously who wants to be out for a walk and see a moldy pile of deer innards) as we either bury them or move them well off the trail so that the birds, mice, and other critters can eat them.
why are they shooting down the drones as destruction of other people's property is a serious crime
Simple answer it is fun to shoot stuff. Two dear season ago I came across a poacher stand that was illegal. It was a really impressive stand that would have been about 16 feet tall if it were upright. It had concrete footing in the ground and hinges so they could tip it over and hide it better and was covered by some camo netting. Where I hunt you are not allowed to have any permanent stands on public land and this one would have likely been illegal in other counties as well. There were beer cans, bait piles (deer baiting is illegal in Minnesota), and 5 gut piles all over the place (this was a 2 deer area) so I called the DNR showed the CO (conservation officer) the site and was told that there wasn't much they could do other than watch the site as it had been abandoned at this point. The interesting thing is that I asked if there was anything I could do about it and was told that the stuff that remained is abandoned property. So after the CO left I shot up, tore down, and chopped up the stand and took the camo netting.
Most hunters dont want to eat it, they simply want to kill it.
Strangely all of the hunters I know eat what we shoot: deer, grouse, phesant, goose, duck, rabbit, turkey, elk, bear, moose (if we ever are lucky enough to get a permit). It doesn't really sound like these were hunters as they were out just shooting live targets, not sporting at all.
Which if done in Minnesota would be strictly illegal as it is against the law to interfere with the legal taking of game. I don't know about the laws in the state they are in but it wouldn't surprise me if there were a similar law.
150 yards is not that far of a shot. I have taken deer with iron sights at that range sitting in a deer stand, granted I used a sling to stabilize the weapon but you should do that anyway. I have also fairly consistently (about 75%) been able to hit pop cans at 1/4 mile with my rifle and a scope from the prone position. A lot of it is being familiar with your firearm and being a skilled shooter at those distances. Beyond 400 meters there is much more to take into consideration as things like wind, bullet drop and atmospheric conditions really start to have in impact. If you want to learn how to shoot well go read the US Marine Corps instruction manual on how to shoot, and then go practice a lot. Shoot something inexpensive to master the techniques and then shoot your preferred rifle to become familiar with how it shoots. Air rifles, BB guns, and.22lr are great for mastering shooting techniques as they are dirt cheap to shoot and things that affect higher powered rounds take effect at shorter distances.
A 16 gauge seems a bit on the large size for mourning dove/pigeon, I would say 20 gauge or.410 would be in the right range. I guess it is like the people who go on a prairie dog hunt in SD and shoot the things with a 12 gauge slug,.30-06,.50 BMG or other ridiculously overpowered rounds for the critter. I have never understood the game farm thing as it really doesn't seem sporting since those birds don't have the natural fear of people and proper instincts like wild ones do. If you want to just shoot targets go shoot some clays as they are much cheaper then paying to shoot some bird. Most of the time when I go bird hunting I come back empty as I seem to be really good at flushing pheasant hens but can never seem to flush any pheasant roosters.
Unfortunately this is true. I have been looking into acquiring some property in norther Minnesota where there are a number of mining operations and it is very questionable at best if you own the mineral rights as they may have been retained by the state to sell, or may have been previously sold off.
Depends on the state. In Minnesota you can take deer with a crossbow but only during the firearm season but not during the archery season. For archery just use a high pull weight bow (I got a 70lbs pull one and have been practicing with it so I can do the archery season next year) but I believe that the minimum pull is like 20 or 30 pounds which seems a bit on the low side. The other problem is that you are limited in where you can hunt, especially in urban and suburban areas. I would love to be able to bow hunt in my suburban back yard but the city won't let you. It would be great as I could just take down the fence during archery season, not bother to pick up the pears from the tree, and I would have a nice 15 foot shot from my deck as the deer are basically tame.
Mr. Morden what beheaded as a gift from Ambassador Londo Molari to Vir Cotto (his assistant). So Mr. Morden did not end up wearing one of the Keepers. It was Molari who got to wear the keeper when he became emperor. It was my assumption that when G'kar kill Molari and Vir became emperor that he did not receive a Keeper but that that was never entirely clear to me.
That is the key there are gaming cards which can drive the 2560x1600 resolutions and deliver good framer rates. these are the same cards gamers are buying now days anyways so nothing changes for them. Then there are the ~$50 (1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT610 for example) cards that will not have any problem doing those resolutions and driving 2 monitors but would be worthless for gaming but would meet my needs and probably most non gamers needs. These cards also don't seem to require the auxiliary power connection
Years ago I saw a parody piece in Mad or Cracked about Disney running out of children's stories to bastardize so they moved on to grown up movies to create children's films of. The examples given were Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List (not entirely sure on this one), Braveheart (not entirely sure on this one) plus some others. Some how that memory is all that came to mind when I read this news.
God now I feel old as I was in college working at a gas station doing overnight shifts at the time when I read that.
If I could get permission to use the images and captions I would pursue selling them as it seems a lot of people have a dark sense of humor much like mine and they probably would do fairly well.
If I go onto a place like zazzle and have a one off one made up that is not put up for sale I don't think there will be a problem. If I decided that I wanted to sell copies using their images and captions then it would be a problem.
From my understanding the old US steel mills that closed were mostly pre WWII and other countries had a competitive advantage because we bombed their old ones off the face of the planet or they never had them to begin with so they built new modern mills. The US steel industry should have spent some of the money from the good years modernizing but instead they remained complacent and advanced.
More so than believing a book that book borrows lots of details from older religions and civilizations and was recorded long after the people in it were dead and has probably gone through several edits and revisions doesn't prove evolution. Also this experiment does not get into evolution but was designed to show that the building blocks of life could be formed on a planet much like early earth was though to be with a similar atmosphere and weather.
That's great, but if the person who wins the election is simply terrible, and your vote caused the candidate you'd prefer to win to lose, your protest voting will give you 4 years of shit to eat.
And how is that any different from how things are now?

software that rights books and poems
Apparently it should have been used to write that comment.
Which one:
Troy
Tower
Imperial
US Fluid
As I haven't read any of the books therefor some of the details were never filled in such as why/how Vir became the emperor.
Hanging is by far too kind. You need to go midieval on their asses. I would suggest any of the following:
Drawn and Quartered
Breaking_wheel
Flaying
Disembowelment
Boiling
Crucifixion
Falling
I believe that court judgments cannot be discharged through bankruptcy so it might be worth perusing. Did you ever file the correct paperwork?

Be wary of the force choke, or of flying objects ripped off of walls.

I am so making a T-shirt with these pictures and captions.

I really wonder where people get some of their numbers from, especially when it comes to defense/military spending. The best numbers I can seem to find are the following with some historical context:
2011 budget proposal
2013 budget proposal (best view by department)
2012 budget proposal
2013 budget table by department
Lots of details here that you can drill down into
current running totals for the current fiscal year
There are probably more good sources I could find that seems like a good start.
That's great, but if the person who wins the election is simply terrible, and your vote caused the candidate you'd prefer to win to lose, your protest voting will give you 4 years of shit to eat.
